Bill Summary
AN ACT DIRECTING THE OFFICE OF STATE BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT TO RECLASSIFY UNEXPENDED STATE FISCAL RECOVERY FUND BALANCES AND OTHER FUNDING, AUTHORIZING THE NORTH CAROLINA PANDEMIC RECOVERY OFFICE TO REALLOCATE STATE FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS, DIRECTING THE OFFICE OF STATE BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT TO USE INTEREST EARNED ON VARIOUS FUNDS FOR OPERATIONS PERTAINING TO PANDEMIC RELIEF, AND EXTENDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE NORTH CAROLINA PANDEMIC RECOVERY OFFICE WILL CEASE TO OPERATE.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) to reclassify unspent State Fiscal Recovery Funds (SFRF), which are federal funds provided to states to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to support other eligible government services, provided certain federal requirements are met and the funds were obligated by December 31, 2024. It also permits the North Carolina Pandemic Recovery Office (NCPRO) to reallocate SFRF to previously supported activities that align with federal guidelines, and directs OSBM to use interest earned on specific funds, such as the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund and Homeowner Assistance Fund, for pandemic recovery operations. Additionally, the bill extends the operational deadline for the NCPRO from June 30, 2026, to May 1, 2027, and modifies reporting requirements for both OSBM and NCPRO.
